LLG2C152MELC25

The LLG2C152MELC25 is a snap-in terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's LLG series designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact, snap-in can package that is optimized for equipment downsizing.

Key value comes from its combination of high-voltage capability, elevated ripple current handling, and a compact footprint—making it suitable for designers prioritizing board-level bulk energy storage in constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 160 V, with ±20% tolerance for specification-driven designs.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can-type snap‑in package (snap-in terminal) for secure PCB mounting and easy insertion during assembly.
• Compact Size: Smaller case sizing within the LLG series—overall dimension L: 2.5 × D: 3.5 cm—suited for equipment downsizing compared with larger LLS cases.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple currents of 3.4 A at 120 Hz and 5.1 A at 100 kHz to support smoothing and filtering under AC ripple conditions.
• Operating Range: Designed for −40 °C to +85 °C operation; endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85 °C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Polarized Electrolytic Type: Polar capacitor intended for general-purpose power applications where polarized bulk capacitance is required.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supplies: Bulk smoothing and energy storage in 160 V rail designs where space savings are required.
• Industrial power electronics: Filtering and ripple suppression in general-purpose industrial equipment.
• Equipment downsizing projects: Use where a reduced case size (one rank smaller than LLS) enables more compact assemblies without changing capacitor function.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: One-rank-smaller case than LLS enables tighter packaging and board-space savings in constrained designs.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (3.4 A @120 Hz, 5.1 A @100 kHz) support demanding smoothing tasks.
• Designed endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated conditions provides a measurable reliability metric for thermal-stressed applications.
• Snap-in mounting: Robust snap-in terminals simplify assembly and secure mechanical retention on the PCB.
• Regulatory-ready: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electronics production.
